[/p][p=30, 2, left]来看看 Felice Cohen 在纽约的[color=#105CB6]小公寓[/color],租金高达700美元,仅只有8平米左右大小。[/p][p=30, 2, left]这个公寓位于纽约市 Upper West Side(不知道是否是高级地区)。Felice 已经在此生活了3年。她觉得这是在这类大城市里生活的一种妥协。[/p][p=30, 2, left]不仅如此 Felice 的朋友也住着同样昂贵且狭小的房子。但俗话说得好,麻雀虽小五脏俱全,别看这房子下,啥都摆得规矩有秩(特别是厕所)。[/p]

   [color=#000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]If you think your apartment is a bit poky, take a look at this one.[p=30, 2, left][size=1.2em]Felice Cohen has squeezed her life into a 90 square ft flat even though it has no kitchen and a bed whose ceiling is 23 inches from her face.[/size][/p][p=30, 2, left][size=1.2em]The bathroom is so small that she has to sit sideways to go to the toilet and on her first night there she suffered a panic attack because it is so cramped.[/size][/p][p=30, 2, left][b]Scroll down for video[/b][/p][size=12px]

[p=30, 2, left][size=1.2em]Storage is at such a premium she has to keep her bananas in the toaster oven.[/size][/p][p=30, 2, left][size=1.2em]When it comes to the rent, however, it is all worth it as Ms Cohen, in her 40, pays just $700 a month to live in New York's Upper West Side - whilst neighbours are charged $3,000.[/size][/p][p=30, 2, left][size=1.2em]Ms Cohen, who happens to be a professional organiser, said the last three years in the apartment have been a joy and that friends even prefer to come and visit her.[/size][/p][p=30, 2, left][size=1.2em]She told the MailOnline: 'I'm sure there are some compromises, but it's worth it.'[/size][/p][p=30, 2, left][size=1.2em]Ms Cohen found her 12ft by 7ft 'microstudio' through a friend and cleared out all the furniture left behind by the previous tenant - the clutter was so bad you could see just a thin strip of carpet on the floor.[/size][/p][p=30, 2, left][size=1.2em]She then installed a desk with shelves about it on one side and a dresser behind a curtain on the other.[/size][/p][p=30, 2, left][size=1.2em]Above the dresser and towards the back of the room she installed a bunk bed style frame for one person with a short ladder.[/size][/p][p=30, 2, left][size=1.2em]This elevated her mattress so it was off the ground but just 23 inches from the ceiling.
'The first night I slept in the apartment I had a panic attack,' she said.[/size][/p][p=30, 2, left][size=1.2em]'When I went up to bed and I woke up in the middle of the night - I had a friend stay over because I thought I was going to fall out of the bed - when I woke up there was the ceiling and the wall on every side.[/size][/p][p=30, 2, left][size=1.2em]'After that night I have not had a panic attack and it's cosy.'[/size][/p]
